A Modern Idyll

excerpt from the book."I call it real good of you, Mr. Letgood, to come and see me. Won't yoube seated?""Thank you. It's very warm to-day; and as I didn't feel like reading orwriting, I thought I'd come round.""You're just too kind for anythin'! To come an' pay me a visit when youmust be tired out with yesterday's preachin'. An' what a sermon you gaveus in the mornin'--it was too sweet. I had to wink my eyes pretty hard,an' pull the tears down the back way, or I should have cried rightout--and Mrs. Jones watchin' me all the time under that dreadfulbonnet."
